Chapter 28 - Negotiation ( 2 )

Cyril's straightforward words surprised the elder and the Awakened bodyguards beside him.

First, they learned that Cyril is aware of the young miss' condition. Though this is not a heavily kept secret of their family, only those close relatives and hired securities should be aware of this information.

If their relatives would inform others about this, Torstein should've been informed in the first place.

Secondly, the fact that he arrived here bringing a potion, means that this is most likely a real cure. After all, they could easily check its authenticity. A hoax would normally just promise about the cure and delay its acquisition after milking them some money.

"You mean to say that this can cure my granddaughter? Hahaha! You better not lie to me, young man. You may find it difficult to leave this place alive if I find out the truth."

Torstein did not show his shock as he even warned and threatened Cyril. His granddaughter's illness could not be cured even by modern medicine and technology.

They have even visited hospitals abroad to have her diagnosed by the best doctors and best medical devices on the planet.

However, none of them could even identify the disease much less a cure. They could only ease the pain of the young girl before she succumbs to the illness and meet her end.

At this time when they were despairing, the top Arcane Explorers of their guild managed to get a Rank A Artifact. It is found in a High-Class Arcane World after defeating one of the guardian golems of that world.

It is an orb that can answer two of their questions before becoming a useless item.

Since the question is limited, instead of asking about the name of the disease or asking how to cure the young miss' specific illness… Their hired Awakened asked about a cure for all kinds of illnesses.

In the end, they learned that the vampires at the rank of Marquise and above were keeping an Elixir that can heal or cure all kinds of injuries, diseases, or even curses.

Then his guild, the Saint Torido Clan, made extensive research and found out more about the vampires. They learned that it is indeed true and the vampires were actually using this potion to keep themselves alive even without drinking the blood of their prey.

The only problem is that if a human consumed more than what he needed, there is a chance that they'll become thralls of the Vampire who made the potion.

"I know that this is hard to believe, Sir Torstein. However, I'm telling you the truth. The name of the disease your granddaughter caught is called Troll's Mystic Decay…"

Cyril then started explaining. This caught everyone's attention and even Xagan started listening.

"If I'm not mistaken, your granddaughter's skin started rotting like a zombie. Her hearing was heightened… followed by her eyesight, then her sense of smell… It sounded incredible but once all her senses were heightened, she could feel immense pain as well. I'm sure that you're just keeping her asleep most of the time… Am I correct, Sir Torstein?"

His words stunned everyone. However, this information should've been kept secret!

"You…" Torstein squinted his eyes as if he's trying to see whether this young man truly has a good intention or not.

Clink! Clink! Clink!

The weapons of the bodyguards were suddenly drawn as they're ready to apprehend the young man and have him spit out where did he get the information.

However, Cyril remained calm in his seat. Though he felt a bit pressured by their Aura, he didn't show it.

Anyway, he wouldn't mind asking for a wish from Xagan to get him out of here if he needed. He could still remember how it was only worth 85 stays for instant teleportation into 200 kilometers of distance.

"Stop it… Let's hear first where did this young kid learn about this information. So, would you mind sharing where you heard about the condition of my granddaughter?"

The old man asked as he took a sip of the green tea that was just served to them. The bodyguards had also withdrawn their weapons as they stood straight again on their corners like nothing has happened.

Cyril was already prepared for this question so he smiled and took a bite from a biscuit that was served on his table.

"Well… I would like to answer your question but I can't tell you for now. However, you can rest assured that only I, knows about the situation of your granddaughter."

Cyril looked at the old man's eyes before he continued.

"You can even bring the potion with you now and have it tested by your best doctors. Anyway, I guarantee you that once you have your granddaughter consume the potion, you only have to wait for two to three minutes and you'll see the result."

"You're confident…"

"Of course, I am… I'm sure that you can easily find me with your influence. There's no way I could hide from you. Aside from that, what I'm truly after is your money and not your animosity…" Cyril said with a hint of a mischievous smile.

"Hahaha! So it's like that, huh… Money… you're right. That sounded better to my ears. Alright… I will have someone check the potion. If this really cured my granddaughter, not just money… You can tell me anything you desire!"

Torstein said sounding like the Demon Xagan.

Anyway, since the old man is making such an offer, he would surely make use of it. He just has to wait until they healed that poor girl to reveal his request.

As for them running away after benefitting from his potion, he wasn't worried about it because of their guild's reputation.

Of course, if they really dared to do it, he would get Xagan to hypnotize them even if it cost a huge chunk of his life.

After finalizing the deal, Cyril left the mansion and has to wait for a few hours to get the result.

Apparently, even if they checked and learned that the potion is real, the young girl herself is still in a different country right now.
